A 16-year old got caught by the Sheriff's deputies stealing a 6-pack from a woman's garage. He was arrested, but escaped from the police car while the officers weren't looking. Now, instead of being charged with just petty theft and burglary, he faces an additional escape charge.

He was tried as an adult and sentenced to 10 years in jail. :/ I feel sorry for him, but escaping from the police is not a cool thing to do.

An in case you wonder, IMHO I think 5 years would be more appropiate (mostly for the escape charge). 10 seems a bit extreme.
 
at 16, if I could, I'd have escapes too. seems way harsh. (didn't read the article, are there previous convictions?)
 
Adam Bollenback has a history of trouble with the law. Assistant State Attorney David Porter said the teen had been convicted of battery on a detention facility staff member, aggravated assault and battery on school staff.

But Cheryl Bollenback told the judge before sentencing the convictions sounded worse than they actually were. She said the detention facility employee was dismissed after the fight with her son because he had a history of being physically violent.

The aggravated assault charge came after her son threw a stick in her direction during a quarrel. Cheryl Bollenback said she never expected her son to be charged with a crime.

"I thought I could call for help to calm him down," she said.

Her son received the school-related charge when a staff member tried to break up a fight between him and another student. "It's not like he punched a school employee," she said.

History, yeah, and his mother has every excuse for all his misbehavior. Gee, wonder why he turned out the way he did.
 
alright, I give in...I would have still tried to escape but I wasn't a violent offender. Maybe 10 years isn't enough.
